The guide will show you where you can buy tickets for the Tower, and for anybody tired after a long day sightseeing the guide will then accompany you back to the hotel.

During the evening, you will have the option to join your guide for dinner in a nearby local restaurant. This is a great opportunity to try the local food, whilst getting to know your fellow travellers (food, drink and any public transport is extra). Our 3* hotel is in a great city centre location, with a large choice of good restaurants within walking distance. The hotel also has a restaurant.

Built in the 17th century during the reign of Louis XIV to project the absolute power of the French monarchy, it served as the political capital and royal court for over 100 years, until in 1789 the revolutionary mobs massacred the Palace Guard and dragged Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette to Paris to cut off their heads! Undoubtedly the grandest and most famous chateau in France.

Can I pay in dollars?

All tours are quoted and charged in pounds sterling, but you can pay using your local card and currency. We will debit the card in pounds sterling and your bank will use their exchange rate at that time to deduct the amount in your local currency.

What time does the trip leave and return?
